Channel 4 Breakdown

Back for the end credits.

Please give less details next time.

I saw Channel 4 continuity apologise for lossing the TNT show but didn't see the breakdown. Did anyone see what happened or capture it? I wonder what Channel4+1 will do.

Channel 4+1 just repeated the breakdown. I have never seen the 'This Programme will continue in sound only' slide before. As it turns out, the programme didn't continue in sound or vision so after a while they changed to the regular 'Programmes will continue shortly' slide.

Best line from the CA was "We hope you are enjoying the little four flying about there because it will be with us for the next 30 seconds or so".

A video should be available shortly... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gioP_kxFSU

there was a micheal jackson sketch in it - I think that's why it happened!!

I thought it looked like quite a prepaired 'breakdown' and it was odd that they rejoined the programme for the credits. How do you know there was a Michael Jackson sketch?

Looked like they threw something up very very quickly at the last minute - I wonder at what point someone realised that joke was in there, if that was indeed the case.

Thanks for that.

The show is on 4OD... http://www.channel4.com/programmes/tnt-show/4od#2925537 (about 19:40 is where they cut away, a little too early because the Jackson stuff doesn't start until about a minute later).

Sorry, the line which appears in my original post was meant to be an addition to my existing post but for some reason I deleted the rest.

What an incredibly ham fisted thing to do ! What not credit the viewing audience with some intelligence, and instead gently fade the offending segment out, and explain why.

By the way, has C4* playout now transferred to Red Bee ? This debacle certainly has Red Bee's 'culture' stamped all over it.

Am I right in saying that the episode has now been pulled from 4oD?

I can't find it on 4OD, so I would guess so.
